"Jonah proved the opposite true: Just a toddler, he was drawn to learn to crochet and picked it up quickly. After some of his videos of crocheting beautiful creations at an incredibly fast pace and incredibly young age— he sold out quickly online. He decided to put his earnings to help kids in his home country. He donated to Roots Ethiopia, an organisation that benefits the region where he was born and the orphanage where he lived. He had floors installed in dirt-floored classrooms, proper latrines, a library, and continues to seek ways to improve the lives of fellow Ethiopians," the page added.
They also shared a quote from Jonah, who said, "I see crochet as a positive way to bring the world together, and it's just a craft that everybody comes together and enjoys."
